To Make Home Beautiful.
Lancaster (Pa.) Ne,o Err


1t is almost impossible to conceive human be-
ing so destitute of the sense of beauty and of all
aesthetic tastes, as not to take pleasure in the
pleasant environments of his home. This fact is
seen in the surroundings of the humblest homes
in our midst 1t speaks loudly of the taste of our
people to see almost every available spot about
our homes occupied by vines, flowers and shrub
berry. The care of these adornments seems more
especially the charge of women. Their more re-
fined and gentle natures take naturally to all that
is implied in the beauty and fragrance of such
surroundings. 1t is to their fostering care that
much of what we see in this way is due. Home
to the true woman is the dearest spot on earth,
and as such it is her pride and pleasure to lend it
every charm in her power.
This is the period beyond all others when this
matter suggests itself to all. covering OF farest
verdure overspreads all the land, and on every
hand flowers of surprising beauty are springlng
into life. So fair and so numerous are they that
the most Indifferent person cannot but be struck
with their beauty and variegated charms. The
sight should arouse those who have given this
side of home life little attention thus far, to sense
ofther duty to themselves and their better natures
The planting of flowers and shrubbery is neither
costly nor exacting in labor point of view.
very little money in these days will buy seeds
enough to beautify modest home. It can even
be done without money, for there are those who
are always ready to give to those who are unable
to buy. The person who is really DESTROYS OF
planting flowers can always get them. The labor
involved is a trfe and need deter no one. few
minutes in the early morning or evening can al
ways be spared for this work, and no other neces-
sary duty suffer in consequence.
| Few people are so leaden- soued as not to ap-
| preciate such beautiful surroundings. They may
not take much delight in them when seen ON the
premises of Others but when these results are de-
veloped about ones own porch or garden plot, the
result of his personal labor, the case is different
| We love our own handiwork as a rule. Fruit from
trees or vines planted by our own hands tastes
sweeter than the best the public market AFFORDS
| The same holds true of the flowers raised by oul
own hands. This is the time to 60 to work. Their
is no better time than the present. The work j

Saluting the Ladies.
Remouo (Pa.) Ne,cs.

1t is with no small amount of genuine pleasure
that we learn of the organization of society in
Remove which we can join with no feeling of re-
greet. The "Anti- Hat Tippers"i is the name of the
Organization, and it has for its object the break
ing up of the habit of frightening the ladies half
to death, which has been so much INDUCED in of
late. The society in question believes that the
hat tipping business, which was originally all
right, has become perfect bore, and for this rea
son every member of the new society who tips his
dicer to lady will have to pay fine of rs cents
for each offense. At the end of every month the
fines collected will be divided among the members
who have not broken the rules. When the hat
tipping craze broke out it nice thing, but it
has steadily grown worse until now the fashion
seems to make spasmodic grab at your hat, and,
after grasping it, make a motion to throw it sew
eral hundred yards and end by striking it against
your breast. After that it is necessary to repair
the dinge which the sudden stop against your
breast has caused, and as tails thing must be re-
pestei to every lady you meet it has grown tire
some in the extreme. Applications for member
ship in the Anti Hat Tipping Society should be
addressed to C. II. Potts, secretary.

From the Baltimore Evening News"
BUILDING IN A BRAN NEW DREss.-Persons who
have passed by the Maryland Institute lately
have been struck by the transformation in the
appearance of the building produced by the re-
painting of the entire structurein attractive and
tasteful colors One of the officials Of the Insti-
tute stated to Ne0s reporter that the renovation
Of the building was accomplished by means OF
the appropriation recently made by the Mayor
and City Council of Baltimore. The work was
done under the personal supervision and direc-
ton of Mr.. Theodore Oster, inspector of building
and only the very best material was used. The
paint used was that manufactured by the New
Jersey Enamel Paint Company, the excellence Of
which has become known to the public through
the fact that it has been also used upon the amer
lean and San buildings, Ford's Grand Opera
House, the Carrollton Hotel and many other con-
spicuous structures. Mr.. Oster was requested
by the president of the Institute and several OF
the directors to use this paint when the appro-
priation was made. He was at first disinclined
to acquiesce in the suggestion, owing to the fact
that he did not believe in ready-mixed paints
His opposition arose from the fact that he had
experienced the worthlessness of many articles
put upon the market under the name of ready
mixed paints, some of which were limitations OF
the article suggested by the Institute officials,
and none of which were satisfactory to gentle
man so thoroughly capable of judging the excel
lence of paint as Mr.. Oster. When, however,
his attention had been called to the buildings
mentioned above, and he had seen practical
demonstration of the qualities of this paint, he
consented, with his usual courtesy, to the wish
Of those who had urged him to use the article
and the result has more than equalled the antici-
pations of those who had urged the use Of this
paint.
Mr.. c. P. Knight, No. 211 E. Lombard street
new number), who is the general agent here
stated to NeCS reporter that he had been sell
ing the paint since 1871, and that in not single
instance had it failed to give satifaction to hi:
customers. He also stated that sample card:
showing the different colors were furnished
gratis, on application to him by mail or in person
The numerous large buildings upon which the
paint has been used are an ample guarantee o.
its exceptional merit, and it will pay anyone wht
proposes to do any painting to consult Mr.. Knigh
before having the work done.

How to Eat Pineapples.-People who cut pine
apples for the table with knife, however, defraud
themselves. Tearing the pine into shreds with a
fork, and sprinkling the shredded fruit with pow
dered sugar some time before eating is the only
way to enjoy pineapple in its perfection"

THE NEW JERSEY ENAMEL PAINT.-This arti-
Gle has been on the market in Baltimore since
1871 and is handled by the sole general agent, Mr..
Chas. p. Knight, No. I'll East Lombard street,
new number). 1t has been used extensively on
public and private buildings and the best testi-
nona as to the general excellence OF the article
is the fact that it has failed to give entire
satisfaction. None but the best materials are
used in compromising the Enamel Paint and
wherever it has been applied the general excel
lence of the work and beauty of finish show for
themselves, and any person of experience needs
no better evidence as to its utility and value.
These paints-all colors which are shown upon
sample cards-are put up in gallon cans and
mixed ready for use, which is great advantage
as compared with the ordinary paints in the
matter of handling as well as of applying them.
The Enamel Paint is of uniform quality and Mr..
Knight, the sole agent in Baltimore, handles inn
mense quantities of it, showing that it is not new
to the public, but is really stable article, the
demand for it increasing with each year. Many
of the finest buildings in Baltimore have been
covered with this paint, and where properly !ap-
piled it has never failed to give entire satisfac-
ton. The residence of III. c. Longnecker, in
Towsontown, has lately had two coats of this
paint applied to it and the manner in which it is
covered and the excellence of the finish speak for
themselves Those who propose doing any paint
ing are invited to inspect this house and see for
themselves that everything we have said about
the Enamel Paint is facts We have no hesita-
ton in recommending it.

Boys is men that have not got as big as their

himself, "Well, guess can do better than that
If try again, and then he made Eve. God liked
Eve so much better than he did Adam that there
has been more women in the world than men ever
since. Boys are trouble. They are very wear

To Drive AUay Red Ants.-It is said that those
annoying summer pests to housekeepers, red ants,
may be banished from pantries and cupboards by
strewing the shelves with cloves, either ground
unground. The latter is preferable as it is not
likely to get with food placed upon the shelves.
The cloves should be renewed occasionally, as
they lose their strength.

The N. o. States devotes about
three columns in its issue of the
18th instant to an interview with
w. r. Rutland and an editorial on
his contract for securing back in
terest due on 18th sections for half
the money obtained. It is a clear
statement Of the case, but we
think shows conclusively that the
State officials are to blame, instead
of exhonerating them, as claimed
by the States. Located at head
quarters, and familiar with the f.
nances of the State, they were in
a position to know of the accumu-
lated interest due on 18th sections,
and it certainly was their duty to
keep the school boards advised on
the subject. They were placed in
position to look after the interests
of the people, while on the other
hand the school boards have not
the ability nor the facilities sup
posed to exist at headquarters.

Gold Bugs.

A correspondent signing himself
Doubling Thomas" writes to the
WINFIELD Sentinel as follows:
An important meeting is supposed to
have taken place about ten miles east of
Montgomery in Grant parish, on May 10,
two prominent legal lights and a local
minerologist being of the committee. 1t
is rumored here that this meeting has
something to do with smore free gold in
Grant," and in quiet way. the price of
mineral rods has been advancing until
they are beyond the reach of poor people.
We verify fear that somebody will find
themselves in the predicament OF the
rustic, who carried a lot of sparkling
stones to an assayer, who informed him
that the stuff he. took for gold was iron
pyrites, and worthless, at which the
young man exclaimed "iron, HI and
d-nation / have gone and married a
red headed widow with seven children
and whole hill fu1 of that stuff.
Yours, etc.
We can assure Doubling Thomas"
that his doubts are without ground.
Our gold groupings are not the
brilliant iron pyrites that have
misled SO many foolish people, and
which exist in all portions of our
hills, but on the contrary is black,
insignificant looking sand, which,
when subjected to intense heat,
runs the precious metal lS-carat
fine.
Three gentlemen have visited
our town during the past week for
the purpose of making examina-
tions. They were Assayer Lynch,
of New Orleans, and Messrs. Phil
lips and I,otteridge, two practical
miners. The latter pronounce the
deposit to be flour gold" and say
that it cannot be worked by any
of the appliances now in use id
the various mines. Mr.. Lynch
however, thinks that it can be
made to pay magnifcently, the
opinion of the miners to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. He has
taken a number of samples to the
city for experiment. and we await
his report with great deal Of
interest.
